What is TiddlyWiki? [1] TiddlyWiki is a complete wiki in a single HTML file. It contains the entire text of the wiki, and all the JavaScript, CSS and HTML goodness to be able to display it, and let you edit it or search it - without needing a server. Although, having said that, there are some fine ServerSide adaptations out there.
TiddlyWiki is published under an OpenSourceLicense [2] and maintained by a busy Community of independent developers. ==== Is TW open Source? Yes: see [3] UnaMesa [4] is a non-profit organisation that owns and holds the IPR for TiddlyWiki in trust for the public. ==== "how much open source TiddlyWiki is?" :) hihi. very much. In my opinion, TiddlyWiki is 100% open source. Since TW is designed to be extended by plugins, every plugin author is free to decide which license she/he want to use. Common plugin licenses are (incomplete list): * BSD Open Source license [2] * CC Creative Commons [5] all variations * MIT The MIT License [6] * some plugins are Public Domain * some plugins user there own Copyright notice. ==== "do you need only one file to run Tiddlywiki?" primary: yes. see [1] But due to browser implementations, for some browsers a TiddlySaver.jar [7] file is needed to save content back to a local html file. IE and Firefox don't need this file. "WebKit" browsers like Chrome, Safari, ... do need it. (please correct me, if I am wrong here) TiddlySaver.jar needs to be in the same directory than the TiddlWiki html file. ==== "What is TiddlyWiki for?" TiddlyWiki is a: * Fun to use single file wiki for everything :) * Knowledge base [8] * Helpdesk [8] * Scientific publishing tool [9] * Cigar Database [10] * Homepage [11] * Brain dump [12] * Scratchbook [13] * Learning tool [14] * Teaching tool [15] * Bibliographic tool [16] * Plugin repository [17] Serversides [18][18.1] can be used as a: * Information/Database Backend [19] * Bookmarking tool [20] * Social web notbook / forum [21] * Social text editor [22] * ... and many others [23][24] have fun! mario :)) [1] http://www.tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlyWiki [2] http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php (Template.
